The game is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, a place that has a long and notorious history of cases of suicides and supernatural occurrences, stemming largely from maidens that would be sacrificed to keep a malevolent power known as the Black Water at bay using their own mystical abilities. And as we count the days down to its imminent launch, here, we’re going to talk about a few key details you should know about the game itself, followed by the big talking points of what to expect from its upcoming remaster.įatal Frame as a series has always been very heavily focused on pure supernatural horror, rather than the sci-fi horror of more popular franchises like Resident Evil, and Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water very much sticks to that template. Seven years on from its original release though, it’s being given a new lease of life, with Koei Tecmo bringing the game to modern consoles, and for the first time for a Fatal Frame game in a while, to non-Nintendo platforms as well. Its last mainline entry, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, launched exclusively for the Wii U back in 2014- and the series’ inherently niche nature combined with the extremely limited player base of the Wii U meant that the game was always fighting an uphill battle when it came to mainstream penetration and sales.
In spite of how many fans Koei Tecmo’s horror series Fatal Frame has, it has always been a bit of a niche franchise.
